    5. What we want... An integrated service which provides: discovery location requesting delivery

    6. What we need... A layer of services or middleware which will shield the user from complexity, heterogeneity and repetitive processes Agora hybrid library management system is based on architecture identified by MODELS

    7. Broker architecture

    8. Parallel, Scalable Search & Retrieve

    9. Proxy Server
